Bandai Namco and Rebel Wolves have unveiled the first trailer for their upcoming game, The Blood of Dawnwalker, which will also be the studio’s first game.

The game will be a single-player open-world dark fantasy action RPG with a strong focus on story and narrative. Rebel Wolves consists of former CD Projekt RED employees, including former CD Projekt RED veteran Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz as the creative director. The new studio is backed by NetEase Games, which also recently published the successful Marvel Rivals.

Rebel Wolves game director and co-founder Konrad Tomaszkiewicz said:

“Inspired by classic RPGs, we want players to feel the sense of urgency in an open world game. There are multiple approaches to saving Coen’s family with no clear division between main and side quests, you decide on how you spend the time. Time is a resource and with each quest progressing its passage, it is impossible to complete all stories and arcs before the dreadful deadline, making each playthrough unique. We call it a narrative sandbox.”

The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first chapter of Rebel Wolves’ brand new role-playing saga, a single-player open-world dark fantasy action RPG with a strong focus on story and narrative.

14th century Europe. Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors. In the wake of the disasters claiming thousands of lives, the decimated human population struggles for survival. It’s a moment of weakness. In Vale Sangora, somewhere in a forgotten corner of the Carpathian Mountains, vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows, overthrow the feudal lords and claim what they’ve been denied for centuries: freedom, and ultimate power that comes with it. Legends turn into reality, and history as we know it will never be the same.

You play as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Not fully human, not entirely a vampire, you have 30 days and nights to save your family or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way.

The freedom in gameplay is reflected in Coen’s very nature as a Dawnwalker. Depending on the time of day, players will have different skills, abilities and storyline outcomes. Players must choose: do they fight for humanity or embrace the cursed powers?

Developed on Unreal Engine 5 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S., but there is no release date for The Blood Of Dawnwalker yet.
